Top 4 Movies of 2010

#1


"The perfect film does not, and cannot, exist. But if it did, it would probably look a lot like this."-Robbie Collin (News of the World)


"It hits every button from laughter to tears and lifts you up on waves of visual dazzlement. And you don't need to take a kid along to appreciate it... Tag it as one of the year's best." - Peter Travers (Rolling Stone)


#2

"It's audacious, it's fun, it's rowdy, and it's just twisted enough to always be interesting. Beyond that, it's one of the year's best acting showcases and likely to grab multiple Oscar nominations."-Tom Long (Detroit News)

"Acting for the silver screen doesn't get more raw, moving or accomplished than what you see in "The Fighter," that rare film in which every performer in it leaves the viewer in awe."-Roger Moore (Orlando Sentinel)

 

#3

"With its James Bond-on-acid action scenes and puzzle-within-a-maze-within-a-puzzle mind games, Inception is certainly the most daring and original blockbuster of the year, as well as a visual tour de force."- Tom Long (Detroit News)

"It's a bold, stunning feature of impossible technical virtuosity. It also has the tendency to be about as emotionally stimulating as a college lecture." - Brian Orondorf

#4

"It may be the year's best movie."-Peter Howell (Toronto Star)

"Snappy script, sharp editing, eerily perfect soundtrack and nuanced performances. One of the first films to articulate the psychological power and draw of the internet: what it feeds us and why we feed on it."- Marc Fennel (Triple J)
